CAM-Infrastructure: A novel solution for service advertisement in Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems

Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) are gaining ground and currently are almost part of our everyday life. A C-ITS environment can provide numerous services that soon will become essential to roads' users. The latter resides in improvement of road safety, entertainment, and commercial services. However, in order to provide such services, the C-ITS environment needs an advertisement and dissemination service for them. Indeed, users have to be aware of the available services in order to request them if needed. Current standards of service announcement show their limits, especially regarding the interoperability between communication profiles. For this reason, in this paper, we describes our new service advertisement solution called CAM-Infrastructure. The latter is compliant with ETSI standards and is deployed in SCOOP@F, a nationwide scale project.
